** Lauren.

** Lauren.Lauren gets this for [[DieForOurShip interfering with the Sydney/Michael pairing]], for showing NoSympathy for Sydney's struggles with amnesia, and for [[spoiler: being incredibly petty and spiteful once it turns out she's evil.]] There was little complaining when [[spoiler: she was killed for her treachery.]]

** Not that ''everyone'' hated Francie, but she was easily the most boring character on a show full of badasses and {{Badass Normal}}s.

** Not that ''everyone'' hated Francie, but she was easily the most boring character on a show full of badasses and {{Badass Normal}}s. \n She never even got to find out about Sydney's secret life before she was [[spoiler: killed and replaced by Alice.]]
* SeasonalRot: Some say this of Season 3, 4 and/or 5. Midway through season two, the "double life" element was dropped, and Syd seemingly had no life outside of espionage. Sloane became a KarmaHoudini in a way that strained credulity. Most importantly, TheChrisCarterEffect really set in here, as increasingly complex conspiracies and mysteries no longer seemed resolvable.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: It would have made more sense if Emily Sloane had known about the affair between Arvin and Irina Derevko because she went to the CIA after she found out that Irina was still alive (which could have been made to seem like she thought that he was sleeping with her again), and went back to him when he had chosen her.

* QuestionableCasting:
** Wait, is that ''Creator/RickyGervais'' playing an Irish terrorist?!
** Wait...Creator/SoniaBraga is supposed to be [[spoiler:''Russian'']]? And so was Creator/IsabellaRossellini.
** Creator/MelissaGeorge had a very noticeable accent despite Lauren ostensibly being American, which the show later tried to sloppily explain away by claiming the character was born in Britain. This might've worked better if she had a British accent and not an ''Australian'' one.
** Latin Mia Maestro as the daughter of the very white Ron Rifkin and Lena Olin.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Modern viewers may be put off with the show's continual hand-holding about its story arcs, with a lengthy opening narration on every episode, regular AsYouKnow dialogue, and even a clip show within Season 1. At the time a lot of viewers really did find this necessary, being unprepared for having to remember so many details in a genre that tended to be just fun fluff for an hour, especially given that home video releases of TV shows (which [[BetterOnDVD made long-running story arcs easier to follow]]) were still a novelty in the early '00s.
